Camp Christopher Information Letter

Parents! Please look for a letter coming home in the next couple days with information about the 5th grade's Spring camping trip! Mrs. Vega and I are very excited to be able to provide this fun, educational opportunity for all the 5th grade students that are interested (and that earn the PRIVILEGE!). Please read the letter and send back the detachable section (whether your child is interested or not), so that we can gage the amount of interest for the students, as well as parent chaperones. Thank you!!
